A worthy successor to professionals and connoisseurs ...!

As a big fan and owner of NHL NHL ESPN Live League Pass, of course I could not miss me also this new edition. After 11 NHL already come very close to the real NHL feeling, so the new version is already (almost) like a ESPN Broadcast on TV.

But now the game itself, certainly the innovations are not discovering the same at first glance, but after the first 10 games this sting already clearly visible. Puck physics, full-contact engine (Check & Puckabpraller), scoring tactical and artificial Mini League / computer intelligence are a big step toward realism ...!

Graphics, sound and presentation are at almost the same high level of its predecessor, but what (almost) is already perfect, of course, is also hard to improve!
Only one could expect here a full-HD 1080p presentation in the high-definition television age. Furthermore, it would be desirable from the outset all the original Home Entrance each NHL team to have.
Even a playable broadcast camera angle as in NHL 2k10 would even a successful innovation.

This is the language in English, of course, is an absolute must for every American Sports Fan and also contributes greatly to a successful course in presentation ... even if EA should consider new spells of the commentator times or for a change could hire a new one.

My advice for those who want to have a real NHL it even closer game, I recommend an adjustment to the slider in the settings menu, then so also all the same statistics and results a real NHL Match ...

Conclusion: casual gamers who just want to play a round are, however removed quite well with NHL 11 for all professionals & experts who are interested in the North American Eihockey League and have a high demand on a realistic gameplay, does not come to NHL 12 over.
But EA, there are enough points which need to optimize and please do not rest on your laurels !!!
